It would be great if the solution can be a configuration change so I don't have to pre-pend something. Again trying to make the original code duel platform. In response to your question: Unfortunately, the code prints those strings directly to console and provides no additional information. If this happens, in DOS, I'm assuming that we would just want to fix anything that spews those 3 strings. The Console Mode should simply be settable.
